Hi Pattnee5,
I do believe your husband meant it when he forgave you years ago. When in MLC they will try anything to justify their current behaviors. It just can't be him it has to be you so he makes up stories or uses past events and mistakes we have made. And since we're all humans it's easy to find something they can use against us, no matter how small or big, all the same. My H used the fact that I failed to take out the trash and he had to do it for me. Stupid stuff like that. They are desperate to shine the bad light on us. They need ammunition to be able to say, see, she's horrible, I need to get away from her.
I'm working on this myself, but don't take ANYTHING he says or does to heart. His brain is scrambled right now and nothing makes sense anymore. When we're in panic mode we can't think straight, and they're definitely in panic mode!
